These days, it's hard to find a restaurant or supermarket not hawking cage-free eggs. But cage-free doesn't go far enough, according to Vital Farms, which says its eggs are from pasture-raised hens. The cage-free process, in which hens are said to have room to walk around (but how much varies), is beleived to be more humane for hens than conventional egg production. But Vital Farms calls the cage-free trend "bullsh*t" in a 2:19 video and other content that breaks Tuesday.

Panera's CEO has a message for the CEOs of fast-food chains: Try eating what you serve to kids. Ron Shaich on Wednesday is issuing a challenge to the CEOs of McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King to eat off of their restaurants' kids' menus for a week or reevaluate what they offer to kids. "There's a better way to do a kids' meal," says Shaich, a father of two teenagers who admits his family indulges in foods such as hamburgers when they want a break from his chain's soups, salads and sandwiches.

Chili's is offering larger portions of three of its top sellers without raising prices as it slims down its menu in the hopes of returning to growth. And, at the same time, it's bidding adieu to some of its departing menu items in a new social effort. Changes laid out Monday come after Chili's said it would cut 50 items, or 40 percent of its menu, in its push to win back diners. Chili's has a lot of work to do.

Twitter handles (e.g. @username) — returns those who have mentioned or replied to
given user

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Obama AND Romney or Obama + Romney.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used.) For example, search for democrat OR republican to find results that refer to
Democrats and/or Republicans.

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
